    Is there an advantage for the Shrew to do this? Does the plant grow on the side of the Shrew interstate?

      The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.

    I am a shrew
    I see a leaf
    With yummy nectar for a feast
    I lick the glue
    But I feel funny
    I’ve got a rumbly in my tummy
    Good, it’s true
    It has a hole
    Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
    And so I poo
    I feel no sorrow
    I’ll come and lick this plant tomorrow
